This course was a combination cheese and salad course with Papillon Roquefort, my favorite.

I have to say that the girls were starting to flag and didn’t really show much enthusiasm when I mentioned dessert until I sat it in front of them. They rallied. My girls! Panna cotta with a kiwi coulis and a topping of fresh kiwi. For the panna cotta https://cookinginsens.wordpress.com/2011/09/22/white-chocolate-panna-cotta-with-berries/ Then instead of the berries, make the kiwi coulis, pour the panna cotta over, allow to set and then top with fresh, chopped kiwi.

Kiwi Coulis

2 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup sugar

2 cup kiwis, coarsely chopped

Dissolve the cornstarch in a little water and set aside. Boil the water, sugar and kiwi together for about 5 minutes. Add the cornstarch and stir for 1 minute. Allow to cool before using.

Impossible to keep them still for the photos. I have to ask Roger what to do when taking pictures of good ole girls.

i agree with Roger that shot of your friends is very very classy. And your kiwifruit dessert makes me long for home. Everything is making me long for home and my own dear friends today.. a beautiful lunch.. and lovely light at your table.. c
